Samoa Joe is too awesome to let silly wrestling morality define him. I mean come on?

The only thing I liked about the ending was that all the points made by Cass for breaking up with Enzo: - You constantly blather on about God knows what every minute of the day. - You know how many times I've wanted to slap you upside your stupid looking face? - But I felt bad for you because none of the guys take you seriously - everyone is tired of putting up with your spastic antics - I'm the star. You're all mouth. Are basically all the reasons Dean Martin broke up with Jerry Lewis. Which I guess means we can look forward to interviews with an 80 year old Enzo where he's like "You know, I carried that team. I created the hot tag. Sure a few people did it before us, but everyone said no one did it like I did it. America needed us. The world needed us. And i like to think we saved both of them. Now please get the fuck out of here and tell those schmucks at the Friar's club they can shove their dues up their asses."

I don't think "the bear community" is what Miz thinks it is.

Let's see....how's it going? Job...amazing. Number one jock in the market and got a raise. Second in three years. Podcast...fun. A wrestling podcast based in Idaho. Not a lot of local material but always fun to talk wrestling. Band...always a blast. We put out our third album last month. Prog rock in Idaho...not the easiest sell but we don't do it to get rich. Stand up gigs...looking better and better. I may very well have my first casino gig in the pipeline right now. Family? The most important thing in my life and my clan is great right now.

Braaaaaauuuuuunnn!!!

Unfortunately the back of that shirt means that anyone wearing this shirt will NOT be exercising that right.

The Strowman emergence from the ambulance and subsequent roar was the funniest Raw moment I've seen in at least 3-4 years. Then they made him say something along the lines of "If you're man enough, I'll see you at.. THE GREAT BALLS OF FIRE PAY-PER-VIEW!" which was so completely absurd and stupid that it ended up being just as funny. I love that man.

Uhhh I don't see Enzo or Cass doing much on their own but I liked the "who dun it?" stuff especially Big Show just being a big surly bastard and telling everyone to fuck off lol. BUT IN OTHER NEWS...

"Shut up and get out of the way! I have to get my shit in!"

Oh, it was Cass. . I'm actively looking forward to Akira Tozawa vs Neville... and it's all due to Titus O'Neil. That's not something I ever expected to say.

Great, we'll finally get the payoff to the Steph/Kurt/HHH love triangle from 2000. Mike Quackenbush would be proud of that kind of long term storytelling. All I had to do was find a clue at the Quick Stop in Leonardo, New Jersey.

Oh good. Also, The Face of America's reaction:

He was the most over face on the show.

Braunnnnnnn!!! Review:

Braun's triumphant return should've been the closing shot, instead of Cass failing to cut a 10 minute serious promo.

Nak's pitching game is strong.

Top FF villain is obviously Dr. Doom. I don't see how there's a discussion.

In less silly news the Bucks' D-League team revealed their new logo and it is dope as shit: Also, I will be dead in the cold, cold ground before I call it the G-League.

I know it came up in one of these threads so it is appropriate Pro Wrestling Sheet is saying that the WWE is talks with Shelton Benjamin to bring him back for real this time

I had one marriage fail and I don't wasn't to go through that again. The person in with now is someone I love being with and vice versa. I ultimately got over my divorce pretty quickly because I was with a terrible person. My girlfriend is the exact opposite in every way. I just never want to lose that or have that connection challenged in any way. So I do the one thing I do any time I feel like something I love could potentially be pulled away. I worry. It's just part of living with anxiety I guess. If it's not my relationship, it's the government, or the weather, or my daughter, or my job, etc. Just how I'm wired.

I have some experience with 12 hour shifts and being around nobody but your coworkers during them, so let me offer this: Oh good lord this is not a thing you have to worry about. At least not anymore than you would if she worked a 9-to-5 office job. Working 12 hour shifts means you're too TIRED to carry on a workplace affair. Especially at night. Shit if I had the spare 10 minutes to pull off a quickie on a break I'd rather take a fucking NAP. And the LAST thing I wanted to do was spend MORE time around co-workers. After 12 hours I didn't want to look at, listen to, smell or think of anything that reminded me of work. Obviously YMMV here, and certainly one CAN stray, but if she wasn't likely to before, I don't really think the likelihood has increased. And no, Grey's Anatomy is not a realistic portrayal of the working environment of a real hospital, just like How to Get Away with Murder is not a realistic portrayal of homicide investigations, and Scandal isn't a realistic portrayal of Washington DC, (though I'm a bit less certain on that last one since Trump.)

I hope there is a Steiner Screwdriver on the drink menu.

Congrats to WWE for rectifying their shitty booking in the first place. Part of me dies inside watching Luke Harper job to Jinder Mahal. Aside from his background and the India tour and WWE trying to make their mark in India, and the physique Vince gets a boner for; what exactly does Jinder bring to the table? He's not exactly exciting in the ring. He does the same anti America schtick every foreign heel does. He's like if Dino Bravo had a championship run in 1989. What am I missing here? No Mrs. and Mr. Kanellis? Boo. Corbin kinda looks like a doofus with or without the briefcase. It's the thinning yet long hair...and I like Baron Corbin.

To expand on SKOS's important RT Blurbs Project I made this and it makes me happier than it should.

Jesus, look at these blurbs from reviews on RT! I'm not even making those up.

Dude had an amazing theme song, Dawn Marie, and a big, vascular, Dick. He was living the dream!

It's actually Michael Tarver. Vince just thinks it's Shelton.

Not calling moves correctly is vintage Michael Cole.

This is one of my favourite times of the year. So many wild rumours that probably won't happen.

I would say Sony still having the rights means we will never see Kraven's Last Hunt. I always knew that motherfucker did it on purpose after hearing he never liked Venom.

Worst case scenario they get released and they can get better indy bookings.

Phil Jackson, not to be out-dumbed by Dan Gilbert, has apparently "not ruled out" trading Porzingis and is exploring offers with a plan to draft Lauri Markonnen if they do trade him.

This game needs an .88 mag to deal with Fiends. Actually, if I think about it, every game needs an .88 mag.

Yeah, I can see it for sure

Well, from what I recall, he is right.

Return of the Caped Crusaders is fantastic. the best parts of the 60s show, told with modern sensibilities. personally, i'm still waiting for the '90s Spider-Man animated series to get the dvd treatment.

Kinda building off something I posted in the MITB thread but I consider myself a pretty modern wrestling fan. However, and not to come off all James E-esque, but, by and large, I think that heels should always cheat in a match, and, more importantly, babyfaces should NEVER tap. Is this insanely retrograde on my part? Am I JR yelling at a cloud right now? With the heels, yeah...maybe your monsters like Vader don't need to pull tights or whatever, but a heel should always have a weakness that comes out when confronted by the hero, whether it's cowardice, lack of heart etc. I think this is why Pete Dunne's PROGRESS run is my favorite title run in a long time. He's an ugly, surly ass-kicker but he'll use the low-blow, have his boys interfere or just break someone's joints to get that advantage. The babyface tapping thing is a bigger issue for me. With few exceptions, they should never tap. Heroes don't give up in a fight. They die on their shield. I'd rather see ref stoppages or guys pass out then a good guy tapping wildly. Anyone with me? Alright, now let me tell ya my thoughts on the DDT and comedy wrestling...kidding.

I thought Paul had a pretty good look in the 1990's, but now I'm not so sure: Dat shirt.... those suspenders... Would you buy a used car from this guy? No? How bout letting him run your wrestling promotion? Looks a little like Sweet Daddy Falcone in this pic. Why Kelly Ripa hasn't had all traces of this pic removed from the internet is beyond me. Never seen this one before. Guy in the white shirt is a realllyyyy young Paul Heyman.

The reaction to Nakamura gave me hope for the future (something I know I shouldn't have with WWE). That was like Daniel Bryan level, and the showdown with him and AJ made me feel like I was living in a dream world where WWE booked to the level of their talent and ppvs were must-see events. Then Baron Corbin woke me up to the real world where he won the men's MITB, James Ellsworth won the women's MITB, and Donald Trump was president.
